mmmm well i love the PC solution IF i could mix and match the programs
and the charts- Nobeltec and Costal Explorer are very intuative to use
but the raster charts are well CRAP......Tsunami charts are great but
the program is so horrible to use. w/proof keyboadrs are easy to find
and not that expensive either maybe i need to just get another cheap
GPs and run two nav programs at once :-( PC's ;-)
regards
David

Well, when you want a waterproof keyboard in your cockpit my 2cts
worth of opinion suggests you wave pc-flexibility goodbye and choose a
solidstate, waterproof chartplotter like Simrad/Raymarine/Garmin and
have either the words "C-map" or "Maptech" or "Garmin" written in your
epitaph... :)
In my own planned setup I hold on to this pc-flexibility and give up
on 100% reliability (is there such animal?). I plan this second 15"
screen (sheltered behind lexan) in the "darkest" corner in my doghouse
so I can see my own position and other ships onscreen when steering
and I am prepared to restrain myself to an expendable trackball only
IF the need arises. Keyboard entry will be solely done at the chart
table.
